A History Of Italian Cinema is the fourth edition of Peter Bondanella's Italian Cinema: From Neo-Realism To The Present. Bondanella's new chapters on individual genres, including Peplums, Gialli, and Poliziotteschi, are the book's most welcome additions, giving influential exploitation directors such as Mario Bava (dismissed in a single sentence in previous editions) the recognition they deserve.
